Around 101,397 MT Tur arrived from various origins at Nhava Seva port in December.

Arrivals of new Tur in domestic market continue to be below expectations. New Tur crop was expected to be lesser as compared to last year, due to fewer yields because of wilt attacks and weather concerns.
As per market view, farmers will be hesitant to liquidate their produce at lower rates in open market.
